Initial Suspension Settings for my Dart Before Alignment
I am working through some different things after getting all the components installed for my disc brake conversion on my 69 Dart. I have factory LCAs and torsion bars (I’m just cruising not corner carving) but new PST tubular UCAs with big ball joints and the new steering arm and ball joints on the lower. I adjusted the UCAs with the front mount as far out as I could get it and the back as far in as possible based on what I read. Then I lowered the car to get a sense of where I am at. Both wheels have a lot of positive camber in them. Here’s a couple pics but I can get some better ones. The passenger side wheel also has considerably more toe out than the drivers side. In fact the drivers wheel appears to be tracking pretty straight. I am satisfied with my ride height adjustment. Could use some advice on where to begin my adjustments to bring that positive camber in. From what I have read on FABO it seems that I should just focus on bringing the rear UCA mount out to adjust without really moving the front. I have also bounced the car up and down to try to get it to settle. Have not tried rolling it because I don’t have the brakes completely done and bled yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
